One of the fun things about designing invitations is the amazing array of papers available. The swatches on our website are just a drop in the bucket of what we have access to. We are an authorized dealer of Envelopments products so we can get any of their great papers. Visit envelopments.com, to see the whole line. Another of my all time favourite paper websites is papermojo.com. Here you’ll find an amazing selection of patterned and handmade papers from around the world. Take a look at some of these great patterns.

Here&rsquo;s another holiday card idea we&rsquo;ve been working on. This folded card features falling snowflakes adorned with tiny rhinestones on the front. The inside has your message along with a pocket perfect for a CD with your favourite family photos of the year.

At the Calgary Bridal Expo last month a definite trend was the emergence of the Peacock! The intense colors of teal and royal blue were everywhere- from d&eacute;cor, to favors, to jewelry and of course&hellip; invitations!

Our peacock invitation with beautiful&nbsp;2 inch satin teal ribbon and peacock feather, garnered a lot of attention, so we though we&rsquo;d share it with you here.

We’ve just finished this photo invitation and needed to show it off! Our client had returned from her dream wedding in New York City and needed to send out invitations to her reception back home in Calgary. We worked with her to design an elegant&nbsp;2 sided card using photos from her wedding taken by Michael Skoglund out of NYC. We love how simple this card is and lets the beautiful photography take centre stage!

Here’s a brand new holiday card. A 5×7 photo card is mounted on red cardstock and fits in a patterned red pocket adorned with ribbon and rhinestone buckle. Without the photo, this would also be great as an invitation for a glam holiday party. See more photos in our gallery.
